Curl content_type always the default php

Question

$file = file_get_contents($path, true);
$url = "https://secure.efaxdeveloper.com/EFax_WebFax.serv";

//setting the curl parameters.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
));
// Following line is compulsary to add as it is:
$data = 'id=' . urlencode("2313125942") . '&name2=' . urlencode($file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print_r('<pre>');
   print_r($info);
print_r('</pre>');

In my code above I set the Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded and post data

$data = 'id=' . urlencode("2313125942") . '&name2=' . urlencode($file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);

But the result of the curl_getinfo()

Array
(
    [url] => https://secure.efaxdeveloper.com/EFax_WebFax.serv
    [content_type] => text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
    [http_code] => 200
    [header_size] => 226

    [starttransfer_time] => 0.293966

    [redirect_url] => 
    [primary_ip] => 104.12.131.61
    [certinfo] => Array
        (
        )

    [primary_port] => 443
    [local_ip] => 127.31.12.152
    [local_port] => 52972
)

My question is why content_type is [content_type] => text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1 and i can't see the post data. I'am a beginner in curl can anyone explain what is wrong in my code?

Since my web application is built with Yii framework I used EHttpClient extension instead. @drew010 Thank you for your comments.

$file = file_get_contents($path, true);

Yii::import('ext.EHttpClient.*');

$client = new EHttpClient('https://secure.efaxdeveloper.com/EFax_WebFax.serv', array(
    'maxredirects' => 3,
    'timeout'      => 30,
    'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'adapter'      => 'EHttpClientAdapterCurl'));

$client->setParameterPost(array('id'=>urlencode("2313125942"), 'xml'=>urlencode($file)));


SiteHelper::printShow($client);

$response = $client->request("POST");

I was able to see my request information by print the $client w/c the EHttpClient object.
